Philips BDP1502 Blu-Ray Disc / DVD Player with DVD video upscaling to HD

I don't know why Blu-ray players are so much more expensive than basic DVD players. This one, being inexpensive relatively, seems to work just fine. Easy to use and connect to a universal remote. Has good picture quality. I'm satisfied with it.

I am very happy with this purchase. I didn't know what to expect since I've never had one of these players before and it is much better than I thought it might be. It took me longer to open the box than to set it up. I already had the HDMI cable attached to the TV so I just had to attach it to the player and plug it in. I put 2 AAA batteries in the the remote (batteries and HDMI cable are not included) and press ON on the remote and it worked. Very pleased with it.

Great Blu-Ray player, plays like my original that I bought the first time these things come out. The thing that makes me more excited about me this one is that it loads 10Xs faster. This machine has been played since April 13th at least a dozen times and hasn't slacked off. It does spin a little hard to start, but that is any machine from the LG to this fantastic Philips. This unit is small in its remote and in the unit its self there is no internet or update required which makes this unit perfect for anyone that wants a basic unit. It it easy to use and all you do is put the disc in and it does the rest. I love this machine and I'm sure you would as well. Oh also 4:3 movies seem to fit the screen better and that makes it easier to watch movies like "VOLCANO" on DVD that are normally small. This is the player for you if you want one that actually works.

It's what we needed - basic blu-ray dvd player w/no fluff- PERFECT!!! Only have used it twice but so far, so good. FedEx placed package at mailbox in ditch even though we were home-weird- this may make us second guess next purchase but we heard truck so box didn't sit in ditch too long and it is the holiday season. Saying no to contact because we get enough calls as is but email is fine.

Had to return, after approx 4 plays unit would not power up discovered I had to unplug wait a few seconds then plug back in power would turn on and I could play. This happened repeatedly so I returned. Online customer service was terrific, as they assisted through the return process

Very dissapointed that ALL of the phone %23's I searched online and on the "quick" start guide don't exist in ALL meanings. I bought x the usb I have to watch tv series I purchased in past and watch when I feel like but CS does not exist! wasting time searching online and YouTube why it's not reading the usb and what to do about it. I quit, am returning this. Buying a simplier brand that does not give so much of hassle. I want smtng to insert it and press play and that's it! for Christ sake!!!

It barely worked 6 months. We dont watch a lot of movies. the last Bluray player lasted over 10 years. This we bought at the end of Nov 24 and it wont turn on July 25. Junk

This DVD Player will not play certain DVDs that have a digital code buried in them depending on where the DVD was made or the regional market it was intended for, like Europe or Asia, for example. This happened to me on both newer and older movies. I didn't discover this until after the return window expired so "Buyer Beware!".

Literal garbage. Have to fight with the dad player to get it to play any DVD. Requires turning the unit on and off multiple times, ejecting and closing the tray over and over along with other fiddling to MAYBE get a movie to play. In the handful of times I’ve been able to use it, about half have ended with the the player suddenly “dropping” the disc and saying “no input detected”. These are not burned discs. They are movies I’ve paid full price for. I know that DVD players are made cheaply these days and I don’t expect them to last long, but to have a unit be this temperamental with every use since it was new out of the package is an embarrassment to the brand. You’d think I bought some knock-off with the way this works.

Warning ⚠️ Don't buy this if want want to watch Blu-ray or DVDs. The first one worked about a month then it started saying disc not supported or no disc inserted. We were abke to exchange it and now less than 2 weeks later, the new one is doing the same thing. I have never been so disappointed in a purchase ever.
